Six months after Malaysia secured a 200 billion yen (RM7.3 billion) Samurai bond, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad confirmed that Putrajaya is considering obtaining the "cheap" bond for a second time.
"Yes," he told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today when asked to confirm a report that Malaysia is mulling obtaining the Japanese bond.

"So, we are studying how we can use this cheap money to overcome our financial problems," he said.
